Chapter 686: Into the Sea of Fire

PS: Thanks to Tong Leaf for the highly rated vote.

In the evening, the villagers brought a large pile of firewood and piled it on a dry field. These firewoods are used to go down to the sea of fire, and they need to be burned into charcoal in advance, and they will be stepped on by Shihou to pass through the coals.

For villagers who have had such an experience, it is not appropriate to have a shime, but for other tourists, stepping on a charcoal past, is it a shime scene? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!

First of all, the Taoist priest is needed to "invite the gods", that is, the Taoist priests dance in front of the temple statues, chanting and divining to the gods, in order to ask the gods to respond to the "" novel chapters updated the fastest.

"Doesn't the charcoal burn your feet? Have you tried it? A tourist asked a child with some humility.

The little guy nodded: "I've walked by!" If you want to run over, you won't burn your feet. "The little guy can be regarded as jingyàn, and the family's instructions before were to run over. The ruguo foot board is too long with the charcoal jiēchu, and it is really bizarre if it is not hot.

In fact, everyone kěnéng does not zhidào, and the burned feet need to be "warmed" by fire. And "warming" requires shijiān, ruguo feet and fire jiēchu shijiān are very short, nàme feet are also méiyou are heated to the extent that they are burned and then out of jiēchu, so the feet of "under the sea of fire" will not be burned.

Of course, this is only one aspect, there are some other factors that can ensure that people walking barefoot on the coals will not be burned, and only professionals can explain qingchu.

The two of them stayed there to light the fire, and the firewood was thrown into the fire like no money. Soon, flames several meters high rose and the entire venue was illuminated red.

Subsequently, a Taoist priest brought an iron plough from a farmer's house. Put it in the fire and burn it.

"Is this a dry shime?" Li Quan asked.

"Burn red, I'm going to give you a stunt to see later, bite the tip of the red-hot iron plowshare with your teeth. It is also a dangerous act. Let's just take a look. Chu Jiaqiang explained.

When the bonfire was blazing, men, women and children chatted around it. After everyone waits for the fire to be burned out, follow the Taoist priest to walk the "sea of fire", after the baptism of fire, the people believe that they will get rid of the disease and bring health and happiness.

This shihou,Adults must be optimistic about Ziji's child。 Don't throw mud into the fire. If the mud burns red, it is also very miserable if someone accidentally steps on it.

Wait until the campfire burns out. It's a good show. At this time, the Taoist priest used his magic sword to pick out the red plowshare iron and lifted it, and held the tip of the plowshare with his front teeth and kept his balance, and walked around the fire three times. After that, the plough is sent back to the temple and placed in front of the statue. This performance naturally deserves a burst of screams and applause from everyone.

After performing this. The real sea of fire has just begun. A charcoal fire was formed on the bonfire, and suddenly the gongs and drums were noisy, shouting continuously, and the mysterious and exciting "under the fire" performance kicked off.

I saw that the Taoist priests first used bamboo poles to break and flatten the charcoal that burned red before going into the sea of fire, and then used a rake to make the charcoal into a "fire road" more than 5 meters long and more than 1 meter wide, and used a homemade large fan to fan the charcoal.

"Do you want to fan Wang, don't you think it's hot enough?" Zhou Furong and the others' eyelids jumped.

"You know shime? If there is charcoal ash on it, it will stick to the soles of everyone's feet. That's miserable, it's going to be absolutely hot. Chu Jiaqiang said. Now it's just a matter of fanning away some charcoal ash.

And then. The Taoist priest brought a bowl of red "Dharma water", and sprayed the water in the bowl onto the charcoal, emitting a puff of white smoke, indicating that the fire had been "sealed" and could walk freely on the "fire road".

At this time, one of the Taoist priests held a brand new grass Liangli in both hands, and rolled over the fire on the fire in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and then two villagers carried the statue of the Zhenwu Emperor barefoot, and the other two people carried the two gods of the Zhenwu Emperor respectively, and also stepped quickly through the fire in the four directions of east, west, south and north.

The others' eyes widened: "Can you really go?" "It's amazing to look at the people who walked by, and their expressions were not inappropriate like méiyoushime pain.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Chu Jiaqiang glanced at those guys.

"Monkey, you go give it a try." Zhou Furong said to the monkey watching from the side. It's just that the monkey seems to be naturally afraid of fire, no matter what you say, he shakes his head vigorously, obviously not like this sea of fire.

The Taoist priests encouraged dozens of young men in the village, too, barefoot, to leap into the embers one by one, stepping back and forth on the fire. In the end, many villagers could not withstand the temptation of this stimulation, so they rushed into the fire and ran back and forth a few one-way trips.

Suddenly, countless sparks splashed on the scene, and the ground was full of gunsmoke, until the fire was flattened and scattered, which made people dazzled, stunned, and surprised. After the performance, I saw that the performers and the villagers were safe and sound, and Méiyou was burned by the heat.

"! Lao Tzu won't die once this time. Finally, a tourist couldn't take it anymore and ran in with his eyes closed. That expression really looked at death as if it were home, and it had the taste of a strong man who would never return. Others can only support this guy on jingshén, and they are still waiting and seeing.

After the man walked by with his eyes closed, he realized that the soles of his feet were really méiyougǎnjiào, and he couldn't help but walk back again.

"This guy isn't going to get addicted, is he?" The others looked at each other. Slowly, others couldn't help the throbbing in their hearts and joined in one after another.

Finally, each parent uses a straw paper roll to pick up the "tinder" at the fire site and take the "tinder" home to light the lamp.

For this event, there is actually a story. It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, there was a brave general named Zhang Xingwu, in order to kill demons and eliminate monsters, protect the territory and the people, go to Zhongnan Mountain to worship Taiyi Zhenren to learn art, and return to eliminate harm for the people.

General Xingwu was full of merit and virtue, ascended to heaven and became a god, and the Jade Emperor named him the god of the three masters of Xingwu, the master of the Jinlan Society. General Xingwu worships the gods for Taoism, and the ancestors of Shuidian Village commemorate General Xingwu and carry forward the fearless jingshén who went to the soup and fire, about the beginning of the Ming Xiaozong period, every year on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the fire sea activity is held, so it becomes an annual example. Every year, a large number of trees are cut down during the Lantern Festival so that the fire can be burned at night and the sea of fire can be stepped on.

The custom of going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire inherits the fearless jingshén of the ancestors who fought against the natural world, dared to go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, and sought survival and development, reflecting the ancestors' worship of nature and ancestors in ancient times.

"It's so cool! I haven't tried it, I really can't imagine that I can walk on the coals without hurting my feet. This time I have something to talk about, which makes those guys envious. A tourist said happily.

"I'll pass it on tonight, and let those guys have a headache, how can they not get burned." The other guy said smugly.

The others also looked very rewarding, and it seemed that they were destined to not go to bed early tonight. (To be continued......)
